Great if you want to discover fascinating contrasts. The rough neighbourhoods are flourishing and blending with modern-day Dublin.
For a neighbourhood with a bit of an urban and alternative vibe, head to Northside. Here you’ll come across inspiring contrasts. The old meets the new, and you can see Dublin blossoming right before your eyes. Discover modern Dublin by enjoying the many shops, museums, authentic pubs and trendy lunch spots right by the river. If you venture into the surrounding, somewhat rougher but up-and-coming neighbourhoods, you can really experience the contrast. Stroll down Capel Street amongst vintage shops and a wide selection of trendy restaurants, or reflect on Ireland’s turbulent history by visiting the beautifully situated Garden of Remembrance.
